My iPad can't Connect to iTunes Store/AppStore

Thank you CaptinMal!!! I was getting so frustrated and your solution worked!!

Check your appleID and your billing name in your iTunes account. Make sure you are not using the & (ampersand) symbol anywhere. If you are, edit to remove the & symbol, save and log out/in.

I had the same problem few minutes ago(iPad 2). Hard reset solved it.

Thanks Zuxy!

I cannot download app updates on an Ipad 2 in the US. I have:

• reset my Apple ID password twice
• signed out and signed back in.
• signed out, and signed back in on Game Center (and separately on ibooks)
• terminated running apps
• Done a hard reset on ipad (NOT a reset to factory settings)
• Reset my network settings (Settings/General/Reset)
• Re-entered my credit card info in my ipad

Nothing has fixed this so far. Do I have a defective ipad 2? How many more are out there with this problem?

I also had a similar problem. Everything was fine yesterday tho. I was puzzled for awhile, then I remembered that I had declined an iTunes update at least twice, - I was too busy.

So I updated iTunes and now everything is ok !

So I guess, for some the solution maybe as simple as installing the latest iTunes.

I'm already on iOS 5.0.1, so there is nothing to update for iTunes.

In addition to what you have already done, on the original iPad, signal strength is related to screen brightness. Turning screen brightness all the way up helps. Try it.

I have been having similar issues for the last week when using App Store on iPad. When pruchasing/updating apps I would get 'Unkown error occurred' and if I tried to view my Apple account on iPad via app store I would get 'cannot connect to iTunes store'.

Now working and all I did was go into Settings - Store and selected Apple ID: xxx Signed out and then logged back in.

Can now update and purchase/download apps from App Store on iPad.

I used to have the same problem before, what i did was trying another account...and it worked!

I think there must be something to do with your account setting...

I don't know if this will work for other people, but I deleted a couple of apps that I had recently installed to see if it would change anything, and it did- I am now able to log back in. I also had changed my password on the Apple website before deleting the apps.

I had same problem. None of The replies worked for me. But this worked:

On my router I diasabled the accesslist on Mac-address. Maybe there is a security setting on your router too that needs to be disabeld. Just trie.

I can download apps, paid or free, also iTunesU but cannot access music or video store. Followed advices here but nothing helped (reset password, logout and in the account, reset ipad even after pressing 20 seconds on both bottons. Last resort I tried resetting my router as suggested here. Pity there was no warning that when I do this then the user and password are deleted and I was stuck for 3 days with no Internet at home since my ISP has "great" technical support as well so was immpossibble to reach them and get proper help. I am so annoyed! Any other ways? Seems that Apple tech guy is sending me here rather than offer proper help.

SB*82. Is it working for you? You another alone. Same here.

Hah, thanks, that just worked for me too. I read through three pages of apple docs on how to desl with "can't connect to itunes store" and they make no mention of your suggestion. But your suggestion was the only thing that worked!

I hadto re-enter my security code from my crefit card. The very strange thing is, though, that I had no problems with my other ios devices. Only from ipad.

I tried everything. Then I saw the posts where you sign into I books, and it worked!!!
